It’s “Lovely Ladies,” with blood-scrubbing instead of sex work! Yay? Redeemed only by the background “round and round / and round again.” Sorry, but how dare Cosette sing a single line of “On My Own” - even with different words. “Master of the House” is enough just the one time. Probably the least seductive song about prostitutes in the history of songs about prostitutes. This song is a treacly nightmare and should be banned from all non- Les Misérables entities forever.

The Thenardiers are kind of the worst, and the dog metaphors get used up in “Little People.”Īgain, if the Thenadiers aren’t being funny, then get the Thenardiers off stage - especially if they are just going to sing the same four notes over and over and over. This is a list for the diehards, and it assumes a deep, deep familiarity with all of the lyrics. Middle school is hard on everyone.) Here, we rank every major song from the musical. More importantly, the versions we’ve sung along to over and over. Or rather, the cast recordings and concert records - those staples, the versions we’ve heard over and over and over. A new production of Les Miserables, which is celebrating 25 years of the hit stage play, runs until 02 October. Stage actor Jon Robyns (C), as Enjolras, performs ‘Do You Hear The People Sing’ during a photo rehearsal for Les Miserables at the Barbican Center in London, Britain, 22 September 2010.
